There I Was, Minding My Own Business

Every now and then one comes unexpectedly across a really strange creature.

Kurt Halbritter Siegfried Böttcher Komische Kunst Barfuesser

This delightful critter is the creation of Kurt Halbritter and is called a barefooter (Barfüßer) or pedarius nudus peregrinatorum. Halbritter made sketches of the barefooter in the 1970s, and in 2016 Siegfried Böttcher made it into a bronze sculpture. It now stands and waits to surprise unsuspecting strollers in the Brentano Park in Frankfurt as part of several art objects titled “Comical Art”.
